0

The University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball team was slated for a second-place finish in the Great Lakes Valley Conference preseason poll, as voted by the league’s 16 coaches this week.

The Screaming Eagles, receiving 203 points in the preseason poll and four first-place votes, enter the 2019-20 campaign fresh-off the program’s first Elite Eight appearance since 2004 and a record of 26-9 (13-5 GLVC), good for third in the GLVC regular-season standings a year ago.

The Eagles return senior guard/forward Kobe Caldwell (Bowling Green, Kentucky), who averaged a13.3 points per game, and junior forward Emmanuel Little (Indianapolis, Indiana), who averaged 11.5 points per game and a team-high 7.3 rebounds per outing. Caldwell also averaged 12.9 points and 5.3 rebounds per game during the 2019 post-season, while Little posted 8.6 points and 6.6 rebounds during the team’s tournament run.

Bellarmine University (28-5, 14-4 GLVC) was predicted as the 2019-20 league champion, receiving 10 first-place votes and 217 total points. The Knights finished one game back of Lewis University in 2018-19, who was projected fifth (162 points) in this week’s poll.

The University of Indianapolis, Drury University and Lewis round out the top five in the annual coaches’ poll. The Greyhounds earned a pair of first-place votes and 191 points after their 19-10, 12-6 GLVC record snagged the fourth seed in last year’s conference tournament, while the Panthers’ 21-12, 13-5 GLVC campaign netted 184 points in the poll heading into the new season.

The remainder of the top ten in the poll are as follows: Rockhurst University (156 points), the University of Missouri-St. Louis (141), Truman State University (138), McKendree University (98) and GLVC-newcomer Lindenwood University (85).

USI Men’s Basketball opens the 2019-20 season with exhibition dates at the University of Evansville (Oct. 28) and at Purdue University (Nov. 1). The regular season tips off at Hillsdale College November 8, with the season’s home-opener against arch-rival Kentucky Wesleyan College slated for November 18.

UNITED STATES SENATOR MIKE BRAUN IS CCO ANNUAL AWARDS LUNCHEON KEYNOTE SPEAKER

1

The United States Senator Mike Braun will be the City-County Observer keynote speaker for the “Annual Community Achievement Awards”  luncheon on October 25, 2019. Lieutenant Governor Suzanne Crouch will introduce United Senator Mike Braun.

Braun was born in Jasper, Indiana, on March 24, 1954. He graduated from Jasper High School. Braun was a three-sport star athlete; he married his high school sweetheart, Maureen, who was a cheerleader. He attended the all-male Wabash College, where he was a member of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity and graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in economics, and Harvard Business School, where he earned a master’s degree

After graduating from Harvard, Braun moved back to Indiana and joined his father’s business manufacturing truck bodies for farmers. When the economy of the mid-1980s hit farmers hard and his father’s business nearly went under, Braun steered the business in the more lucrative direction of selling truck accessories. The business subsequently grew from 15 employees to more than 300. In 1986 Braun and Daryl Rauscher acquired Meyer Body Inc., a manufacturer of truck bodies and distributor of truck parts and equipment. In 1995 Braun fully acquired the company. Meyer Body was renamed Meyer Distributing in 1999. Braun is its president and CEO.

These years City-County Observer “Annual Community Achievement Awards” honorees are Margaret Koch, the Honorable Vanderburgh County Superior Court Judge Margaret  “Maggie” Lloyd, Christine Keck, Steve Hammer,  EPD Sergeant-Jason Cullum and President of the Vanderburgh County Commission-Ben Shoulders.

Former Vanderburgh County Sheriff, past United States Congressmen and  Vectren Executive Brad Ellsworth, will be the Master Of Ceremonies for this event.

This year’s awards luncheon will be held at Tropicana-Evansville Walnut rooms A and B. The registration begins at 11:30 am, the event officially starts at 12 noon on October 25, 2019.

Reservations for this event may be obtained by calling  JIM KNAUFF at 1-812) 457-1017 The deadline for registration is October 22, 2019. Last year’s event was a sellout.
